Abstract: A stylus includes a housing, a writing tip, an accelerometer, and a processor. The housing has an exterior surface. The writing tip is coupled to the housing. The accelerometer is disposed within the housing and detects acceleration generated by a touch to a region of the exterior surface of the housing. The processor is disposed within the housing and transmits, based on detection of the acceleration, a signal to a device. The region of the exterior surface of the housing is physically distinguishable from other regions of the exterior surface of the housing. The signal corresponds to one of a plurality of gestures performed on the region to initiate a function of the stylus or the device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a stylus includes one or more electrodes and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying first logic for transmitting signals wirelessly to a device through a touch-sensor of the device. The stylus has a first power mode in which components of the stylus for receiving signals from or transmitting signals to the device are powered off; a second power mode in which components of the stylus for receiving signals from the device are powered on at least periodically and components of the stylus for transmitting signals to the device are powered off; and a third power mode in which components of the stylus for transmitting signals to the device are powered on at least periodically. The media further embodies second logic for transitioning the stylus from one of the first, second, and third power modes to another one of the first, second, and third power modes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a stylus comprising an accelerometer operable to detect an acceleration in response to a touch to the body and initiate a pre-determined function, a method of using same, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media embodying logic.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an occlusion device and methods of delivering the occlusion device. The occlusion device can include an expandable structure configured to move between an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. The expandable structure can be configured to have an expansion ratio of at least about 5:1. Further, the occlusion device can be configured to prevent substantially all fluid from flowing past the occlusion device when the occlusion device is in the expanded configuration in the vessel.

Abstract: A catheter has a jacket (10, 11, 5) defining a lumen and a helical support (6). The catheter has a proximal portion (4) and a distal portion (3), the distal portion having for at least some of its length a corrugated outer surface. A transition portion has a flexural stiffness which is less than that of the distal portion and more than that of the proximal portion. The transition portion provides an optimum transition in flexural stiffness by way of features of the jacket including geometry of jacket corrugations (15), or overlapping tubular layers (1073, 1074). The distal end of the distal portion may have an extension of liner material folded over (1072, 1082) to provide a particularly soft tip. In other examples the liner is terminated (763) before the distal tip. The catheter is particularly suited to an aspiration device (1350) with a flow restrictor (1353) and the distal portion distal of the flow restrictor.

Abstract: A neurovascular occlusion device for occluding a vessel and a delivery system for delivering the occlusion device. The occlusion device can include a self-expandable support structure defining a concave occlusive component and an anchoring component separated by a neck component. The occlusive component can carry a functionally occlusive membrane configured to prevent substantially all fluid from flowing past the occlusion device when the occlusion device is expanded in the vessel.
